Aftermath Of Hurricane Irma In The Caribbean(Photos) <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The Category 5 storm hit the island nations on Friday and Saturday as it carried on a destructive path from the Caribbean to the south coast of Florida.<br /><br />Irma has sent the Caribbean and several southern States into crisis mode after reportedly destroying '95 percent' of Saint-Martin, Barbuda, and the British Virgin Islands. <br /><br />Millions of people have been left stranded and homeless with no access to water, electricity or phone service, and at least 25 dead<br /><br />The Bahamas and Cuba are bracing for a similarly devastating impact, as is the State of Florida, which is currently being completely evacuated.<br /><br />More than one million of the 11million residents were evacuated while 120mph winds and 30ft waves wreaked havoc across larges swathes of the countries.<br /><br />Now, they will return to complete devastation, and some areas may have to wait weeks until the floods subside.<br /><br /><br />The total death toll from the storm climbed to 25 people as of Saturday morning, reports the New York Times as result of the storm, including nine in unspecified French territories, one in Barbuda, one in Anguilla, two in St Maarten, four in the British Virgin Islands, four in the US Virgin Islands, and three and Puerto Rico.<br

Ask These 36 Questions<p dir="ltr">Can you create a sense of closeness or intimacy with a complete stranger? Psychology research says, yes, you can.</p><p dir="ltr">Nearly 20 years ago, a team of psychology researchers led by Arthur Aron (1997) conducted an experiment that demonstrated that you can&#160;create a sense of closeness or intimacy with another person simply by asking and answering a set of 36 questions together.</p><p dir="ltr">But was the closeness produced in the experimental condition the same as the real closeness we feel with long-time partners and friends?</p><p dir="ltr">The researchers say this about whether they produced &#8220;real closeness&#8221; or not:</p><p dir="ltr">We think that the closeness produced in these studies is experienced as similar in many important ways to felt closeness in naturally occurring relationships that develop over time.</p><p dir="ltr">On the other hand, it seems unlikely that the procedures produces loyalty, dependence, commitment, or other relationship aspects that might take longer to develop. [&#8230;] This procedure is like other experimental paradigms&#8230; it is useful as a means of creating a similar although not completely identical state.</p><p dir="ltr">In other words, for a laboratory setting, it produced something akin to the real closeness that we feel in our everyday relationships. But this closeness is not the same as closeness or intimacy gained through time and shared experiences alone &#8212; it lacks key components of what typically define closeness or intimacy&#160;in a relationship.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>The 36 Closeness Questions</b></p><p dir="ltr"><b>Instructions:&#160;</b>Take turns reading each question aloud to one another, with both people answering the question posed.

The slate can be wiped clean and old rivalries can begin anew.<br>For <b>Electronic Arts</b>, the FIFA franchise is about as big as they come and the publisher has made all attempts to create as much hype as possible around the game.<br>But here&#8217;s where we cut through all the marketing guff and answer the most fundamental questions about FIFA 18.</p><p dir="ltr">If you&#8217;re going to read one piece about the new game, make sure this is it.<br>When does it come out?<br>The game will launch by the end of September 2017 just as the new season gets underway.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>What consoles will it be on?</b><br>The main version of the game will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. There will be a &#8220;Gold Version&#8221; launched for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 but it will be an update in name only - none of the new features will be included although you can expect a few tweaks to the squads and teams.<br>Likewise, Electronic Arts has a FIFA game prepped for the Nintendo Switch but it doesn&#8217;t appear to be FIFA 18. Nintendo&#8217;s version isn&#8217;t as graphically impressive as the Xbox and PS4 versions but it is portable and there are some extra features taking advantage of the JoyCon motion controllers.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>How much will it cost?</b><br>At the moment we don&#8217;t know - but it is likely to be around &#163;35-&#163;45 for the standard version.<br>Expect a deluxe or collector&#8217;s edition as well with a steeper price tag. Sony and Microsoft will likely bundle copies of the game alongside consoles as well in order to shift hardware units.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Will there be a virtual reality version?</b><br>At the moment EA says it has no plans to produce a virtual reality version of FIFA. Which, considering the amount of push Sony has been putting into the PlayStation VR, not to mention the power of the PlayStation 4 Pro and the Xbox Project Scorpio, is a bit of a shame.<br>"Right now theres no plans for virtual reality FIFA 18&#8221; Samuel Rivera, gameplay producer for FIFA 18 at EA Sports told Mirror Tech. &#8220;However, we try to be on top of things and a VR FIFA would be the best thing ever. The technology is still being developed and there are a lot of things to solve. We want to be sure it&#8217;s the right thing for us to do at the right time.&#8221;<br>When will the player ratings be announced?<br>According to EA Sports, this is one of the absolute last things that the development team puts into the game.<br>It&#8217;s unlikely we&#8217;ll know this until the game actually launches. Mirror Tech has been told that the ratings will have an even bigger impact this year as the team has looked to improve every aspect of performance.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>What about the Journey Mode?</b><br>Journey mode was the big new feature of FIFA 17 and it introduced the story of footballer Alex Hunter. FIFA 18 continues the story and sees Alex Hunter tackle the next chapter of his career.<br>There have been some big updates, including the ability to customise Alex's look through clothing, haircuts and tattoos. There are also going to be a few more famous faces putting in an appearance this time around.<br>Lastly, there will be other playable characters - although EA Sports hasn't given us any clues about who they may be.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Who is this year's cover star?</b><br>Cristiano Ronaldo. Which was hardly a surprise, was it?<br></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t-40EqjSDw4/WT3C_L_78DI/AAAAAAAAA50/xal84zm6SA8HiRE1tZ0mpykBV0b4j33FgCHM/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t-40EqjSDw4/WT3C_L_78DI/AAAAAAAAA50/xal84zm6SA8HiRE1tZ0mpykBV0b4j33FgCHM/s640/unnamed.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qItjveIhN0M/WT3C_lGSyBI/AAAAAAAAA54/H_pGRx1U__gULmYsaj_Y53rlCyykRTTSACHM/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qItjveIhN0M/WT3C_lGSyBI/AAAAAAAAA54/H_pGRx1U__gULmYsaj_Y53rlCyykRTTSACHM/s640/images.jpg"> </a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/CfgJ/~4/tmXw_826Js0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Larry Kinghttps://plus.google.com/113285567962793614389noreply@blogger.com0http://www.trendcabal.com/2017/06/fifa-18-everything-you-need-to-know.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896305414487606671.post-70356520869600688772017-06-10T13:49:00.001+01:002017-06-10T13:49:57.293+01:00Ronaldo is the Highest Paid Athlete in the World- Forbes<p dir="ltr">Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo remained atop Forbes&#8217; list of the world&#8217;s highest-paid athletes, beating out NBA star LeBron James,<br>Soccernet reports.<br>Ronaldo, 32, is reckoned to have earned $93m between his Real salary ($58m) and off-the-field endorsements ($35m) last year.

Well, the answer is in the final details: You have a wrong approach to dating.<br>Here are all the mistakes you&#8217;re making that has made you single all this while.</p><p dir="ltr">1. Not Having A Dating Plan:<br>Dating is a full-time job. And like any good thing you want to dedicate your time too, you have to make a plan. Don&#8217;t just go about hoping a great lady will appear from the blue with the breeze floating her hair in slow motion like the movies. Please, be serious and make a plan.</p><p dir="ltr">2. Punching Above Your Weight:<br>Yes, you can do anything you put your mind to but that goes far as a motivational message. You can&#8217;t be worth what Ghana&#8217;s richest man Charles Ampofo is worth overnight if you put your mind to it.<br>Same way be realistic with the kind of lady you approach. Sorry if you&#8217;re offended.</p><p dir="ltr">3. Waiting For Her To Make The First Move:<br>Ladies are shy to make a move but will definitely show signs in certain ways. Notice it and make the move!</p><p dir="ltr">4. Being Stingy On First Dates:<br>Please show that you&#8217;re a boss with her wishes on a first date.</p><p dir="ltr">5. Talking Too Much About Yourself:<br>Ladies want to know about guys but also want to be listened to. Do go about ranting without even giving her a chance to open her mouth.</p><p dir="ltr">6. Overthinking Stuff:<br>The fact that she said she was on a call with another guy when you called doesn&#8217;t mean she is dating him. Same way, the face that she&#8217;s been respectful to you doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re number one in her life. Stop overthinking stuff.</p><p dir="ltr">7. Assuming:<br>Assumptions can ruin you before you even get started. Don&#8217;t assume, just ask!</p><p dir="ltr">8. Making Every Decision For Her:<br>She has rights and likes too. Make her make some decisions too. You&#8217;re not her father. Ladies even hate that aspect of fathers, how much more you.</p><p dir="ltr">9. Asking Silly And Cheesy Questions<br>Things like:<br>So why is a beautiful lady like you still single?<br>This is a no no!!!</p><p dir="ltr">10. Acting Like You Don&#8217;t Care:<br>Guys, you know you cared enough before even making an approach. Stop acting like you don&#8217;t care. You&#8217;re not deceiving anybody because it&#8217;s public knowledge you do. Act like it to impress her.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-esbo_d8KqaU/WQh-E6Y70tI/AAAAAAAAA0I/o04YIwK2wAkaiElSh-YUzxnaVL6jDu1FwCHM/s1600/index1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-esbo_d8KqaU/WQh-E6Y70tI/AAAAAAAAA0I/o04YIwK2wAkaiElSh-YUzxnaVL6jDu1FwCHM/s640/index1-1.jpg"> </a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/CfgJ/~4/-LKuHBK6iNo" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Larry Kinghttps://plus.google.com/113285567962793614389noreply@blogger.com0http://www.trendcabal.com/2017/05/10-dating-mistakes-that-has-made-you.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896305414487606671.post-68998240493295963972017-05-02T13:11:00.001+01:002017-05-02T13:11:45.696+01:00Possible Reasons Why You’re Not Losing Weight<p dir="ltr">Most at times, you have done everything possible to lose a few pounds, but it seems it&#8217;s never working out.</p><p dir="ltr">How often do you exercise and what do you eat? The truth is these two plays an important role in weight loss.<br>When you lose weight, your body tries as much as possible to fight back.<br>No matter what you have done or your background, the chances are that one of these 9 reasons could be why you are not shedding extra pounds<br>1. You&#8217;re Not Lifting weights<br>Resistance training like weight lifting is very vital when it comes to losing weight.<br>This body training can help you hold on to your precious muscle mass, which is often burned along with body fat if you are not exercising<br>.<br>You can also add other body weight exercise like push-ups, squats, and lunges to weight lifting.<br>It is important to note that lifting weights can also help prevent metabolic slowdown.</p><p dir="ltr">2. You&#8217;re Not Eating Enough Protein<br>Protein is a very important nutrient when it comes to losing weight.<br>Eating protein can boost metabolism by 80-100 calories per day and make you automatically eat several hundred fewer calories per day.<br>Protein has an effect on appetite-regulating hormones , such as ghrelin and others.<br>This effect drastically reduces cravings and desire for snacking between meals.<br>A high protein intake also helps prevent metabolic slowdown, which is a common side effect of losing weight.<br>It also helps to p revent weight regain in the long run.</p><p dir="ltr">3. You&#8217;re Consuming Too Many Calories<br>A large percentage of people who have trouble shedding pounds are simply eating too many calories.<br>If you are not losing weight, then you should try weighing your foods and be tracking your calories history for a while.<br>Tracking is also important if you&#8217;re trying to reach a certain nutrient goal, like getting 30% of your calories from protein only.<br>This can be impossible to achieve if you&#8217;re not tracking your calories intake properly.</p><p dir="ltr">4. You&#8217;re Eating Wrong Foods<br>If you are not losing weight, the first place you should look is the quality of food you take in. Eating quality food is very important when it comes to weight loss.<br>While the exact foods you consume depend heavily on your body type, metabolism, and other factors, a good way to start is to stick to all natural, whole foods.<br>Eating healthy foods can improve your overall health and help regulate your appetite. Natural, whole foods tend to be much more filling than their processed counterparts.<br>Maybe you should consider eating starchy foods on days when you do strength training or more rigorous form of exercise.<br>Avoid food that has many processed labeled as &#8220;health foods&#8221;. Better still, stick to whole, single-ingredient foods as much as possible.</p><p dir="ltr">5. You&#8217;re Not Doing Too Much Cardio<br>Cardio should be a necessary part of your workout routine, for reasons unknown, cardio has gotten a bad rap in recent years.<br>Cardio keeps your heart healthy, boost metabolism and excretion of toxic waste in form of sweat.<br>It is very effective at burning belly fat , that builds up around the organs.</p><p dir="ltr">6. You&#8217;re Not Resting Enough<br>Resting and recovery are often more important than the workout itself. It&#8217;s during the state of rest that the body does most of the fat burning.<br>Good and quality rest is one of the most important things to consider for your physical and mental health, as well as your weight.<br>So give yourself enough time to fully recover so you&#8217;re ready to work hard the next day.<br>Most importantly, listen to your body don&#8217;t in the name of losing weight over stress your body.</p><p dir="ltr">7. You&#8217;re Not Drinking Enough Water<br>Drinking water before, during and after exercise can have benefits for weight loss.<br>A study shows that drinking boosts a number of calories burned by 24-30% over a period of 1.5 Hours.</p><p dir="ltr">8. You&#8217;re Not Working Hard Enough<br>Working out and eating healthy doesn&#8217;t have an exact formula- what matters is to find out what works specifically for your body.<br>Spending more time in the gym doesn&#8217;t equate to a fit person. Unless you are a sportsman, an average person with the sole aim of losing weight shouldn&#8217;t be working out more than an hour a day.<br>Your daily workouts should be intensity-dependent, not time dependent.</p><p dir="ltr">9. You Have a Medical Condition<br>There are certain medical conditions that can make it much harder for you to lose weight.<br>These conditions may include hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and sleep apnea.<br>If you are on certain medications, it can also make weight loss harder, or even cause weight gain.<br>If any of this applies to you, then speak to your doctor about your options.<br></p><p dir="ltr">DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE SHARE BUTTON TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aCZF-oVyTbE/WQh3f3J5wjI/AAAAAAAAAzA/JkXtIzwjY3USgU6U0HgV6oBui6rmeSjDgCHM/s1600/belly-2354__340.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aCZF-oVyTbE/WQh3f3J5wjI/AAAAAAAAAzA/JkXtIzwjY3USgU6U0HgV6oBui6rmeSjDgCHM/s640/belly-2354__340.jpg"> </a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/CfgJ/~4/fEtbXD9TzYk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Larry Kinghttps://plus.google.com/113285567962793614389noreply@blogger.com1http://www.trendcabal.com/2017/05/possible-reasons-why-youre-not-losing.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896305414487606671.post-78219900453357874492017-05-02T13:08:00.001+01:002017-05-02T13:08:38.545+01:0011 Best Home Remedies for Acne<p dir="ltr">Acne is a common skin problem that affects people of all ages. Teenagers suffer the most from acne because of the increased hormone levels in their body.<br>Sleep deprivation, too much stress, clogged pores, bacteria, excess oil production, dead skin cells, unhealthy eating habits and hectic lifestyles can also cause acne. Acne can appear on the face, chest, back and scalp.<br></p><p dir="ltr">1. Lemon Juice<br>One incredible approach to get rid of acne is to use lemon juice.<br>The acidic property of lemons can be very useful in treating acne.<br>Lemon juice will clean out dirt that has accumulated in the pores and will harden the sebum. You can use it on your skin daily but if it is too drying then use it every two or three days.<br>Rub a slice of lemon on the affected area and leave it for a few hours before rinsing your face with water.<br>Alternatively, mix lemon juice with rose water in equal amounts and use the solution to wash the affected area thoroughly.</p><p dir="ltr">Aloe Vera Gel<br>Not just does it chills your skin off, which makes you feel incredible, it diminishes the irritation and redness of pimples and expels the sleekness from your skin.<br>The soothing and anti-inflammatory properties in aloe vera can treat acne in a matter of a few days. Aloe vera gel is also helpful in healing the scars caused by acne.<br>You can buy aloe vera gel from the market or get pure aloe vera gel by cutting a leaf off an aloe vera plant and squeezing the gel from the middle.<br>Apply the aloe vera gel to the affected area twice daily.</p><p dir="ltr">3. Toothpaste<br>The toothpaste that you use regularly to clean your teeth can also help clear up an acne problem. This is, in fact, one of the easiest home remedies for acne.<br>Apply a small amount of white toothpaste on the affected area before going to bed.<br>The toothpaste will reduce the swelling and dry out the acne. Within a day or two, you should see significant improvement.</p><p dir="ltr">4. Baking Soda<br>This is another powerful home solution for treatment of acne on the grounds that it encourages skin peeling to evacuate abundance oil, and dead skin cells.<br>Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate works as a gentle exfoliant for your skin.<br>It also helps regulate the pH balance of the skin and has mild anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. All these characteristics make it an excellent home remedy for clearing acne.<br>Apply a paste of one or two teaspoons of baking soda and a little water. Rinse it off after a few minutes.<br>In another way, mix together two tablespoons baking soda, one teaspoon cinnamon powder, the juice of half a lemon, and five tablespoons honey.<br>Apply it on your face and wash after five minutes. Use baking soda on your skin once or twice a week.</p><p dir="ltr">5. Orange Peel<br>The acidic property and high vitamin C present in an orange make it a perfect remedy for acne.<br>You can use the juice from the orange as well as its peel, but the peel can be more effective.<br>Grind a sun-dried orange peel into a powder and add water to make a paste.<br>Apply the paste to the affected area and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Then wash your face with warm water.</p><p dir="ltr">6. Fuller&#8217;s Earth<br>Fuller&#8217;s earth also known as multani mitti is good for greasy and acne-prone skin as it absorbs excess oil (without over-drying your skin) and unclogs the pores.<br>It helps improve your complexion too. You<br>Mix equal proportions of Fuller&#8217;s earth (multani mitti), rose water, and sandalwood powder. You can add more rose water to get a better consistency of the paste.<br>Apply this mud pack to your face and wash after it dries up.<br>Repeat the process once a week.</p><p dir="ltr">7. Tea Tree Oil<br>Another popular natural treatment for acne is tea tree oil.

Especially for women, this can attract an unpleasant group of unwanted suitors.</p><p dir="ltr">Medical Diagnoses<br>Aside from the risk of contracting an infection, there is also the chance that you may come down with an unrelated medical condition that has as one of its symptoms discoloration or distortion of parts of the skin.<br>A doctor would have an idea of how to examine your condition by looking at side blemishes-but due to obstruction from your tattoo.<br>Though, other blood test could be carried out, but a clear view of the skin could narrow down the range of tests required and also minimizes cost.</p><p dir="ltr">Removal Problems<br>Though they are techniques and methods for removal of tattoos, they are equally dangerous. Some of those methods include; abrasion, laser treatments, scarification and surgery.<br>Laser treatments for example can lighten many tattoos, some can more easily but the treatment is expensive.<br>Laser treatment can also cause permanent change in skin coloration to a less desirable shade</p><p dir="ltr">Risk of Death<br>As funny as this may sound, for people with serious medical conditions, tattoos can present a very real risk to life.<br>People with chronic heart disease, epilepsy, diabetes, hemophilia, and allergies should not get tattoos. The list also includes those who have had organ transplants, anyone on blood thinners, and those who are pregnant or nursing.<br>Both the conditions and the medications for them can affect the body&#8217;s ability to survive tattooing.<br>Sometimes the ink itself can lead to serious health complications by interfering with medications. In the case of pregnant or nursing women, the chances of passing infection or toxic chemicals from the tattoo to the baby are great.</p><p dir="ltr">Employment<br>Who wants to employ someone with tattoos all over the body? Already, societal perception makes it impossible to be accepted into such organization as an employee.<br>Tattoos contradict reputation for respectability and trustworthiness most companies strive for.<br>Tattoos also run the risk of offending or discomfiting your potential colleagues.<br>If a company needs to downsize, chances are you will be among the first in the line of fired.</p><p dir="ltr">Permanence<br>You loved someone so much you put his (or her) name on your skin.<br>What are you thinking? What happens when you are no longer with that person, how do you forget them?<br>The design looked great on paper and is a mess on your body. You need to get rid of it fast!<br>&#61710;<br>If you are thinking of getting a tattoo, keep in mind the risks involved &#8211; physical, social, and financial &#8211; before going ahead with it as this may backfire in the long run.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--ZpELU8FfgI/WQh2HKahXCI/AAAAAAAAAyw/cIGjKFsXEEwuh3MQwDkav9IIBJ9lxQYrACHM/s1600/tattoo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--ZpELU8FfgI/WQh2HKahXCI/AAAAAAAAAyw/cIGjKFsXEEwuh3MQwDkav9IIBJ9lxQYrACHM/s640/tattoo.jpg"> </a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/CfgJ/~4/UGAdJ9rtmSU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Larry Kinghttps://plus.google.com/113285567962793614389noreply@blogger.com0http://www.trendcabal.com/2017/05/reasons-not-to-get-tattoo.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896305414487606671.post-40381310277653408072017-05-02T13:01:00.001+01:002017-05-02T13:01:58.822+01:008 Amazing Health Benefits of Tumeric<p dir="ltr"><br>Tumeric, also known as curcuma longa , is an ancient spies and very common herb. Often referred to as the &#8220;Queen of Spices,&#8221; its main characteristics are a pepper-like aroma, sharp taste and golden color.<br>They belong to the ginger family and is a prized component of the culinary traditions of these cultures. Turmeric imparts a vibrant yellowish hue to curry dishes, and the spice is used as a natural dyeing agent for cloth. People across the globe use this herb in their cooking.<br>According to the Journal of the American Chemical Society, turmeric contains a wide range of antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic and anti-inflammatory properties.</p><p dir="ltr">Curcuminoids are the main phytochemicals that give turmeric its most impressive and wide-ranging health benefits. Amazingly, over 9,000 medical and clinical research studies have evaluated turmeric and curcumin and yielded a wealth of positive information.<br>It is also loaded with many healthy nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, niacin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, potassium, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc. Due to all these factors, turmeric is often used to treat a wide variety of health problems.<br>Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence.<br>Health benefits of Tumeric<br>Turmeric provides an abundance of antioxidants capable of supporting cellular health.</p><p dir="ltr">1. Cancer Prevention<br>Turmeric can help prevent prostate cancer, stop the growth of existing prostate cancer and even destroy cancer cells. Multiple researchers have found that the active components in turmeric makes it one of the best protectors against radiation-induced tumors. It also has a preventive effect against tumor cells such as T-cell leukemia, colon carcinomas and breast carcinomas.<br>Studies have also shown that it can reduce angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels in tumors), metastasis (spread of cancer), as well as contributing to the death of cancerous cells (1 ).<br>Multiple studies have shown that curcumin can reduce the growth of cancerous cells in the laboratory and inhibit the growth of tumours in test animals ( 2 , 3 ).</p><p dir="ltr">2. Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties<br>Oxidative damage is believed to be one of the mechanisms behind aging and many chronic diseases.<br>Free radicals which are generated in the body tend to react with important organic substances, such as fatty acids, proteins or DNA.<br>The main reason antioxidants are so beneficial, is that they protect our bodies from free radicals by mopping up these free radicals and this helps keep inflammation at bare.<br>Curcumin happens to be a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals due to its chemical structure ( 4 , 5 ).<br>But curcumin also boosts the activity of the body&#8217;s own antioxidant enzymes (6 , 7 , 8 ).<br>In that way, curcumin delivers a one-two punch against free radicals. It blocks them directly, then stimulates the body&#8217;s own antioxidant mechanisms.</p><p dir="ltr">3. Relieves Arthritis<br>The anti-inflammatory properties in turmeric are great for treating both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.<br>Arthritis is a common problem in the world.<br>There are several different types, but most involve some sort of inflammation in the joints.<br>Given that curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory, it makes sense that it could help with arthritis.<br>It has been found that those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis who consumes turmeric on a regular basis experience much relief from the moderate to mild joint pains as well as joint inflammation.<br>Several studies show this to be true.<br>A research Studies carried out on patients with rheumatoid arthritis, curcumin was even more effective than an anti-inflammatory drug ( 9 ).<br>Other studies have looked at the effects of curcumin on arthritis and noted improvements in various symptoms ( 10 , 11 ).</p><p dir="ltr">4. Anti-Depressants<br>Curcumin has shown some promise in treating depression.<br>Although few studies have been conducted on humans, dozens of research trials have proven that turmeric is especially effective in correcting depression symptoms in laboratory animals.<br>To address this issue a controlled trial was carried out on 60 patients who were randomized into three groups (12 ).<br>In One group took prozac, another group took a gram of curcumin and the third group took both prozac and curcumin.<br>After 6 weeks, curcumin had led to improvements that were similar to prozac. The group that took both prozac and curcumin fared best.<br>According to this (small) study, curcumin is as effective as an antidepressant.</p><p dir="ltr">5. Prevents Alzheimer&#8217;s disease<br>Alzheimer&#8217;s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the world and a leading cause of dementia.<br>Unfortunately, there is no good treatment available for Alzheimer&#8217;s yet. Therefore prevention is the best bet.<br>Inflammation and oxidative damage play a role in Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and curcumin has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant property ( 13 ).<br>Turmeric supports overall brain health by aiding in the removal of plaque build-up in the brain and improving the flow of oxygen.<br>This can also prevent or slow down the progression of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.</p><p dir="ltr">6. Regulates Blood Sugar Level<br>Turmeric can be used in the treatment of diabetes by helping to moderate insulin levels. It also improves glucose control and increases the effect of medications used to treat diabetes.<br>Another significant benefit is turmeric&#8217;s effectiveness in helping reduce insulin resistance, which may prevent the onset of Type-2 diabetes.<br>However, when combined with strong medications, turmeric can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).<br>It is best to consult a healthcare professional before taking turmeric capsules.</p><p dir="ltr">7. Reduces Cholesterol Level<br>Research has proven that simply using turmeric as a food seasoning can reduce serum cholesterol levels .<br>It is a known fact that high cholesterol can lead to other serious health problems. Maintaining a proper cholesterol level can prevent many cardiovascular diseases.</p><p dir="ltr">8. Wound Healing<br>Turmeric is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent and can be used as an effective disinfectant.<br>A study in the Sept 2014 issue of Life Sciences found that the curcumin in turmeric offers beneficial properties that appear to accelerate the wound healing process by soothing irritation and oxidation.</p><p dir="ltr">If you have a cut or burn, you can sprinkle turmeric powder on the affected area to speed up the healing process. Turmeric also helps repair damaged skin and may be used to treat psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k9LmNm9VjW4/WQh1NUZazcI/AAAAAAAAAyk/UlHmDj2mfDc_IFEqnLQUpuRNIhRFbs1ywCHM/s1600/tumeric-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k9LmNm9VjW4/WQh1NUZazcI/AAAAAAAAAyk/UlHmDj2mfDc_IFEqnLQUpuRNIhRFbs1ywCHM/s640/tumeric-3.jpg"> </a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/CfgJ/~4/x3ysyY-UaiQ" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Larry Kinghttps://plus.google.com/113285567962793614389noreply@blogger.com0http://www.trendcabal.com/2017/05/8-amazing-health-benefits-of-tumeric.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896305414487606671.post-28340725786677890292017-05-02T12:59:00.001+01:002017-05-02T12:59:01.477+01:00Health Benefits and Side Efffects of Hibiscus Tea (Zobo Drink)<p dir="ltr"><br>Hibiscus tea is made from Hibiscus ( Hibiscus sabdariffa) a subtropical and topical flowering plant.<br>Hibiscus also is known as karkade, red tea, red sorrel, Jamaica sorrel, rosella, soborodo (Zobo drink), Karkadi, roselle, and sour tea.</p><p dir="ltr">Its flowers are used for medicinal purpose, making edible products and flavoring herbal beverages.

The woman met a female trader, who introduced her to Prophet Femi of a Celestial Church in Oke-Ira, Ogba, Lagos.<br>&#8220;The prophet assured her that he would be able to handle the situation.&#8221;</p><p dir="ltr">Lamorde, who was represented by SP Ngozi Braide, said: &#8220;They charged the woman N98,000 fee, which she paid and Prophet Femi gave her some herbs, which stopped the bleeding for a while.&#8221;<br>Alleged hypnotism<br>He continued: &#8220;When the bleeding started again in 2014, she went back to the prophet, who brought in a new twist to the matter.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;He hypnotised the woman and convinced her that her husband was responsible for her problems. Prophet Femi went further to convince the woman that her husband was also after her children&#8217;s lives, accusing him of being a cultist.<br>&#8220;He went further to tell her that the bleeding was the source of her husband&#8217;s money. That the more it flowed the richer the man would get.<br>&#8220;The woman was asked to bring money for sacrifices and rituals, which she paid into the prophet&#8217;s account. She also built a five bedroom duplex at Ojokoro area of Lagos and another in Ado-Ekiti for the prophet, upon his request.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;The prophet also warned the woman to stop sleeping with her husband and instructed her and her children to bring 70 percent of the money her husband gave to them monthly to him.<br>&#8220;For three years the prophet would come and sleep in the man&#8217;s house, without his knowledge. There was a time he allegedly gave the woman&#8217;s only son a concoction to drink and he started behaving like a mad person.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;He took him (son) to Ekiti, gave him something to drink and he became normal again.&#8221;<br>Waterloo<br>The bubble burst after one of the victim&#8217;s children, who came visiting from London, reportedly paid in N20 million into the prophet&#8217;s account. She was said to have suspected that all was not well, following which she reported the matter to her father, who confronted his wife.<br>Sensing danger, the suspect was said to have fled to Ekiti, from where he was arrested.</p><p dir="ltr">Displaying the monetary transactions between the woman and the prophet, Braide said: &#8220;After his arrest, we discovered that one of his accounts read over N70 million, which was paid in by the victim.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;We learned that the prophet has two other accounts. Preliminary investigation showed that the suspect had collected a chieftaincy title in Ekiti with the money.<br>&#8220;Also recovered were a Toyota Highlander 2014 Model and a Lexus GX 470 2014 model, which were bought for him by his victim. The suspect did not deny all the allegations against him.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;He proudly told us that he is a prophet and a native doctor. He told us that he helped the woman and uses brain to collect money from her, since the family is wealthy.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;We have decided to bring this to the public domain to warn people about fraudsters, who hide under churches as prophets or pastors. We have saved this man (husband of victim) from death as that would have been the next plan.&#8221;</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Hs1MIv2fcds/WQhfC-0InNI/AAAAAAAAAww/OFheT0zQsN8FwmdEZUXl9aXQ_Ry778Z5wCHM/s1600/culprit-1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Hs1MIv2fcds/WQhfC-0InNI/AAAAAAAAAww/OFheT0zQsN8FwmdEZUXl9aXQ_Ry778Z5wCHM/s640/culprit-1-1.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1kzTCIKY1i0/WQhfDXbKzxI/AAAAAAAAAw0/ZdlzD1fFUOIMxeOTZStbFxb77-RNX-mpQCHM/s1600/the-jeep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1kzTCIKY1i0/WQhfDXbKzxI/AAAAAAAAAw0/ZdlzD1fFUOIMxeOTZStbFxb77-RNX-mpQCHM/s640/the-jeep.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KeURNPXiYv4/WQhfDqi2F5I/AAAAAAAAAw4/UuONkBFmqQcDBJSZDP9zDMR6AFTQBc_8gCHM/s1600/criminal-house.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KeURNPXiYv4/WQhfDqi2F5I/AAAAAAAAAw4/UuONkBFmqQcDBJSZDP9zDMR6AFTQBc_8gCHM/s640/criminal-house.jpg"> </a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/CfgJ/~4/7XzaaWvdIAA" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Larry Kinghttps://plus.google.com/113285567962793614389noreply@blogger.com0http://www.trendcabal.com/2017/05/how-prophet-got-n70m-two-houses-cars.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896305414487606671.post-73280858342137569652017-05-02T11:14:00.001+01:002017-05-02T11:14:05.502+01:00Why I am relocating my ministry to Israel - TB Joshua reveals

They are doing very well and it is very encouraging.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;But there are ugly faces; there are Indian companies that have been doing what they will not do in India and that is unfortunate and I hope those of you who are doing the right thing, who really make us proud and our association with India, will make sure that this type of bad things are stopped.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;I have the unfortunate responsibility to deport some Indians from what they have done wrong. My successors (Yar&#8217;Adua and Jonathan) brought them back, they too later sent them back again, because you see, a Leopard never changes his skin and they believe that they can bribe their way in this country.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;But woe betide that person be it Nigerian, non-Nigerian or Indian who believes that he will live and corrupt this country. Whatever power I have, I will kick against it and that is what we did and that is what we will continue to do.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;I believe people like that do not only give Nigeria a bad name but also India a bad name. They even give people doing genuine business in this part of the world a bad name but we should not allow them to get away with it.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;A situation where jollof rice is being prepared and shipped to Nigeria is ridiculous and bad, that is not what the country needs today.</p><p dir="ltr">&#8220;If that is done by an Indian company, that Indian company should be condemned, whatever company that is doing that, if it is a Nigerian and owner of that company, they should have his head examined&#8221;.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XnTw8cefQvw/WQbhV1APEOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/wNPO9A-6eFQb1H2DepqM2YQRts61BWJjACHM/s1600/12633566_950573938368280_8053367502218965460_o-620x400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XnTw8cefQvw/WQbhV1APEOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/wNPO9A-6eFQb1H2DepqM2YQRts61BWJjACHM/s640/12633566_950573938368280_8053367502218965460_o-620x400.jpg"> </a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/CfgJ/~4/AmDdzuNbq2A" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Larry Kinghttps://plus.google.com/113285567962793614389noreply@blogger.com0http://www.trendcabal.com/2017/05/obasanjo-rains-curses-on-saboteurs-of.html
